    Biting the hand that feeds you is no way to get $50 million/yr, lifetime medical for your family, and a lifetime free jet to fly around in.

    Except you have a legal ground to stand on. My guess is he feels he has leverage and many of the owners don't want to get on his bad side. Imagine all the dirt he could spill about the NFL owners if he gets on their bad side.

    That's not legal ground, that would be blackmail.

    He's employed by the owners, turned into a bit of a megalomaniac.

    I was referring to two separate things. Yes, there is the "blackmail" but there is also wrongful termination. The owners approved a process to keep him on and Jerry Jones is trying to circumvent that process because he didn't do what Jones wanted. That's legal ground. Then there's also the possibility he has been a part of many conversations with the owners that would get them in trouble.

    Lol, we were done already. Also I don't like visiting the D&D because you never know what you're going to find there.

    His contract expires after 2018 season, they're in negotiations... they're under no obligation to retain him.

    Anybody can sue anybody, but he'd be standing on some pretty thin paper with that one.

    Does McNair let his inmates use Astroglide?

    Yeah but a committee reviews his extension and that committee alone makes the decision. The committee wants to keep him. Jerry Jones is trying to overrule their decision. That's more than thin paper

    Big Bob’s poor attempt to defend Jerry Richardson, who’s actions he’s defending forced him to sell his team. Bob should just not say things anymore

    McNair should sell the team like Richardson. His ancient views don't match that of the fanbase.

    I for one appreciate the guy who got the team back to Houston.

    His beliefs stick with what he believes will keep his business healthy.

    Move on.

    Bob McNair is an a senile racist boob that is more concerned with impressing his fellow owners than winning football games.

    Just imagine what Bob says when there aren’t cameras around.

    If he keeps saying too much it can easily become a story
